No need to panic - this is not an addition to the Meade family but rather the Puerto Aventuras family. We had a dolphin born at the facility here within the last 90 minutes of writing this. We spent some time watching the mum teach the newborn how to swim and breathe which is quite unbelievable literally within minutes of being born. Another baby was born yesterday and there is a third expectant mother who could possibly give birth tomorrow. There are three nursery areas set up with extra lighting and the Dolphin Discovery program staff are watching 24/7, recording each time that the babies come up for air. I will watch local announcements to see if any photos are available.
